In the eerie silence Nassim takes refuge. He dreams of his beautiful classmate Abigaëlle. Nassim is all too familiar with the fine line between imagination and reality; when fantasy replaces what is routine we sometimes lose our very selves, forgetting that what is real can strike us with much greater force.

Nassim se réfugie dans un mutisme inquiétant et rêve à sa belle collègue d’école; Abigaëlle. Mais entre la réalité et son imaginaire la ligne est mince pour Nassim. Lorsqu’on troque son quotidien au profit de ses fantasme, il arrive qu’on se perde en oubliant que la vérité frappe parfois plus fort.
